Psalmorum 146

1 Alleluia, Aggaei, et Zachariae.

Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.

2 Lauda anima mea Dominum, laudabo Dominum in vita mea: psallam Deo meo quamdiu fuero. Nolite confidere in principibus:

I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 in filiis hominum, in quibus non est salus.

Put not your trust in princes, in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 Exibit spiritus eius, et revertetur in terram suam: in illa die peribunt omnes cogitationes eorum.

When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.

5 Beatus, cuius Deus Iacob adiutor eius, spes eius in Domino Deo ipsius:

[But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on the Lord his God;

6 qui fecit caelum et terram, mare, et omnia, quae in eis sunt.

Who hath made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

7 Qui custodit veritatem in saeculum, facit iudicium iniuriam patientibus: dat escam esurientibus. Dominus solvit compeditos:

Who executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth the prisoners;

8 Dominus illuminat caecos. Dominus erigit elisos, Dominus diligit iustos.

The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous:

9 Dominus custodit advenas, pupillum et viduam suscipiet: et vias peccatorum disperdet.

The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

10 Regnabit Dominus in saecula Deus tuus Sion, in generatione et generationem.

The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
